2010 TRAINING FEES
Click here for Health Requirements Section below
| Due to substantial increases in the cost of providing top notch care, fees are increasing slightly for 2010. Bedding costs have doubled in the past year and a half and hay prices have also increased substantially due to flooding in 2008 and drought in 2009. Insurance and other overhead have also gone up. In 2009, a surcharge was instituted to cover a small portion of the bedding cost increases. For 2010, surcharges will be eliminated but the overall monthly fee will increase by $25. We regret the need to raise fees but know that our customers will understand that this increase goes directly to providing the level of care that has so long been associated with Jessica Cole Training Stables. | |

Due to the high-traffic nature of my training barn, it is essential that all incoming horses be healthy and fully vaccinated against all common communicable equine diseases.
On the recommendation of our veterinarian and for the protection of all customers and horses, the following vaccinations and test must be completed before the horse arrives. |
| Current year negative Coggins test | |
| Current vaccinations: | |
| Potomac Horse Fever | |
|
Four
Way (Flu, EEE, WEE, Tetanus) |
|
| Rhinopneumonitis (Rhino) | |
| Strangles (specify IM or nasal) | |
| Rabies (also available as a 2-in-1 with Potomac vaccine) | |
| West Nile Virus | |
| Also strongly recommended: Leptospirosis (moon blindness) | |
| Dental Work: | |
| Horses of all ages require periodic floating to remove sharp points from teeth to facilitate comfort while wearing the bridle and proper chewing and digestion. Horses 2, 3, and 4 years of age often also require removal of wolf teeth and caps in order to ensure comfort and cooperation while wearing the bridle. All necessary dental work will be brought up to date by Jessica Cole Training Stables' veterinarians if it has not been attended to prior to the horse's arrival. | |
|
All horses will receive vaccination and Coggins test updates as often as recommended by Jessica Cole Training Stables' veterinarians. Deworming and dental work will also be kept up to date as needed. |
|
CLIENTS SHOULD FURNISH A COMPLETE HEALTH RECORD WITH DATES OF ALL VACCINATIONS AND DEWORMINGS FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE HORSE'S ARRIVAL.
